SUBJECT Is TO KEEP THE STREETS CLEAN.
Mr. L. Monkey has written the District Commis-
sioners 10 know the construction placed upon the
article OF the new police regulations pertaining
&C. on the streets. He asks: SIS IL lawful for Inc
| or my agents, being licensed, TO place under a

In person, place under desk In an ONCE or upon
counter or table In store circular. advertising
paper, an enveh pc. card or small hand bill Of
any kind whatsoever"

nothing in the regulations 70 prevent the articles
mentioned from being delivered at house or placed
under door or in q window. The object for which
tnat regulation was made was 10 keep the streets
clean. This has not been accomplished, Mr..
Webb remarked with sigh. He said that the
police do not seem 10 be aware OF the
existence OF such a regulation and permit
people to litter the streets with
all kinds OF truck. He said that only the other
day he passed a store on the Avenue In 'front.' Of
which one OF the clerks was sweeping the refuse
from the store into the street. "a policeman Was
passing at the time, and he appeared utterly un-
conscious or the fact that IL vas against the law.
